I hate that the money market fund pays almost zero interest, but at least the principal is safe. I also have a very generous Federal pension, which provides all of my living expenses, so my investments are probably too conservative. I would be interested in any ideas on where to move my money market fund assets to earn more than nothing, with a low risk of losing principal.
Free advice, since it was asked for.......buy either or both of these ETFs.....symbols BND and BNDX
